    Still fought him and won disregarding defense at times.

    Definitely a hardcore country boy.
    Yeah.. was one of the best LHW fights for a while there. I don't think he feels pain. Tougher than nails. Thought Briggs won the rematch, but it was close.

      I imagine the powder puff puncher posts coming then.

      And how he was maybe rocked by a sneaky right hand once in 36 minutes and they scream he's chinny.
      lmao I can't wait for that. Best and most predictable one is him having stamina issues because you and I both know that we can fight for 36 minutes without reading a deep breath

        I rate Kovalev, his boxing ability is very underrated but he doesn't come close to beating any of the guys OP mentioned.

          at LHW, Adamek had a very good power plus he was a really good comination puncher. And his run at HW was pretty average. He only beat Arreola and that's it.

          Kovalev wouldn't last 2 rounds, let's be real here.

          As ****ty as Wilder is, he's the bigger, stronger man.

              Gene Tunney, Ezzard Charles, Harry Greb and Archie Moore would give him trouble.

              But yes, Sergey Kovalev is very good.

                I didn't see Adamek as much of a puncher at LHW. He was more of a combination guy who kept up his workrate till the end of the 12th. He had more power once he put on some weight and fought at CW.

                I don't see why Kovalev couldn't do pretty good if he took the time to put on some weight, or especially roided up. Let's face it, the HW division is mostly garbage.. Anybody that's half decent and weighs around 200 lbs can beat much of the competition there.

                  I'm struggling to disagree, he has the power and the ring smarts to cause all three of those guys nightmares.

                      Haye was lucky he never got to fight a prime Tomasz Adamek, infact he was lucky he never had to fight him at all.
